Default ACA's installed with pics

Had the ACA's installed several days ago and oh my goodness these things are powerful. The range on the ACA's is incredible... they really can reach out and touch somebody. I'm pretty sure if my headlights were pointed towards the sky you could see the them from outer space Anyway, here are some pics and thank you JWMotoring for the incredible service

I'm not 100% sure but I think the HID bulbs for the factory lights are different than those used for the ACA's. PM JWMotoring, he will know for sure

Yep... these daylight pictures don't even come close to capturing there true color. The ACA's with the 5000k are pure white with just a hint of blue. Absolutely no yellow unlike the pictures shown above.

Looks good! Thanks for the purchase and mention. Glad you love them.

If anyone else is interested in a set we offer them on an as ordered basis. Usually about 1 week wait time (due to so many temps). I'm going to try stocking them again here soon like I used to.

We send them out with our high quality 55 watt kits, directions, and full plug n play harness (we modify these in house). Tech support is also here if you need it. I've installed them and pretty much know them in and out.

You need different bulbs for sure. I would upgrade from those ballasts as well. We send higher quality 55 watt kits with purchases from our store (30-40% brighter than 35 watt kits).

When a customer wants to keep their ballasts we usually knock off a bit from our price for just the projectors and bulbs.
